Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-F80-15CLRG is a specific-fit, air-to-water performance intercooler engineered for the S55-powered BMW F80 M3, F82/F83 M4, and F87 M2 Competition, finished in a color-matched Lime Rock Gray to blend into your engine bay. Built around cast aluminum end tanks TIG-welded to a bar-and-plate core, this forced induction upgrade replaces the factory unit’s known weak points with a larger core and internal air diverters for smoother, more even charge flow.
As a purpose-built forced induction component, this intercooler is designed to keep pace with an increasingly boosted S55 engine. Mishimoto expanded core volume by 29% over the stock unit while keeping the same installation footprint, pairing that larger core with a unique single-pass internal fin layout that improves heat transfer from the charged air to the coolant. In testing alongside the Mishimoto Performance Heat Exchanger, the upgraded core delivered a 16% increase in flow through the core, a 12F drop in intake air temperatures, and an average of 11 whp and 8 wtq gained, with peak gains reaching up to 31 whp and 10 wtq. Whether you’re refining a stock forced induction system or building out a more capable induction system, this Mishimoto performance intercooler is engineered as a durable, drop-in upgrade for the S55 platform.
